I hated Word for DOS, and went through the worthwhile pain of learning WordPerfect 5.1 instead. Still will use anything but Word (currently mess around with Open Office.)
May I suggest Zim for basic notetaking and personal documentation? Since trying it I rarely go back to Notepad. It autosaves, stores notes in a hierarchical hyperlinked structure like a wiki, and has basic formatting like Wordpad.
It fills the gap of a featureful notes organizer without being quite as complex as Notepad++. (which I use for coding)
There is even an option of chucking it online if you know what you're doing, so you can access your "wiki" from anywhere like Evernote. (but without a central server - you have to host it yourself)
Once I got used to LibreOffice it wasn't half bad for what I use, mainly the Excel and Word knockoffs. Since it open source though, I'm sure there's already some pink colored side-hair working on a woke police module for it.
Knew this was coming when I saw a Grammarly button in Outlook the other day. (For anyone who missed the latest news, Grammarly is a another proudly subversive company.)
If I remember right they also tried introducing a muslim feature, but had to remove it once they realized that it just changed every pronoun after a sexual act into "goat" or "younger sister".
Sorry, but no. No one should use LaTeX unless he hates himself. I'll take quills and parchment (or maybe even stone tablets) over LaTeX.
All kidding aside, though, LaTeX has its uses, but it's a lot faster for me these days to just use a drawing tablet and copy the results from that into a general word processor as an image rather than fighting LaTeX to get what I want.
Batsman. Gender neutral term. Cricket. Ubiquitous. Centuries of tradition. Gone, completely, overnight, since April 2021.
Because they didn’t want “batswoman”, despite literally a century of that word, in women’s cricket. Nup, not “good enough”. So they literally had the official rules of cricket changed, and now it is “batter”, which sounds utterly alien to the ears of any true adult cricket fan (the same word as baseball, I know, but they are not the same sport), and you get fined for using the original term!!
That's about like me when they started talking about putting pronouns in email signatures. I just quit signing emails. My company hasn't told us to put pronouns, although I have seen them. Particularly if from some sales or marketing types.
I thought it was a pretty accurate assessment of the streaming service business-and-marketing model. Fill your virtual shelves with cheap schlock, keep a few big-ticket items on prominent display (e.g. Netflix dropping a billion on Friends and Seinfeld), and when people have a habit of flicking through random titles looking for something watchable, they may watch the propaganda schlock or they may not, but as long as they don't drop their subscription, you're winning. The quality* content and sloth factor subsidize the wokist bullshit.
See, this is a much better approach than your reflexive sperging. Far more effective and has the chance of yielding positive results regardless of your aims by simply reintroducing the concept on a subconscious level that women can be evil or even just wrong.
Nah, this is totally on Microsoft. Users screech about all kinds of things. I'm sure the actual number of firms demanding PC Police in their documents is very small. (and even they must understand it's one of those "nice to have" feature requests)
With Microsoft's defacto monopoly on word processing, they could easily ignore such requests and focus on more important improvements and nobody would think twice about it.
All the more reason to use Corel.
All the more reason to use Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing's word editor

I refused to use MS Office as soon as they went to subscription-based 365. Fuck software as a service
Notepad.exe has been vastly more useful to me both professionally and in my personal endeavors.

Nope, notepad does exactly what I need and doesn't have any extra moving pieces. The features you are pitching are only downsides for my use case.
seems like a good allotment of features... however, also seems kinda big for a notepad. how long does it take to open?
I've been using it for years (on Linux) and it opens immediately, no noticeable delay, contents of the window are also immediately loaded.

Can guarantee once Word puts it in then the alternatives will follow.
I hate LibreOffice, but it's probably the best FOSS alternative at this point.
Download the current installer and save it somewhere. You don't have to update.
Which also means we can branch it and take it out

I use open office.
Just give it time, all will follow in no time.
Holy shit that page is cancer if you view it without adblock
I did not know that, Brave has built in addblock.
I'm on firefox mobile and I guess I forgot to re-install ublock after my last phone wipe

I thought about making something like this as a joke.

Fair enough. I last used it around 2007 or so I think, so improvements over the past decade+ are probably likely.
paged media CSS bro
separate your styling from your data and potentially re-use stylesheets across multiple output targets
This isnt new.
This has been in for a couple years.
On that node: did you tried softmaker office?

Insanity…
Sheer insanity.
Start using Robin.
If you're fined for the original term, the real deal, then clearly, it's just the sidekick.
This is a feature that HR wants for everyone. It will soon be in all emails.
It's time to emancipate email. Go back to letters.

What, the subscription service one?

Speaking of which, Phil's still bitching about COD Lobby trash talk and how he wants to ban pRoBLeMaTiC bIgOts from playing xbox.
